General Information

RULES & REGULATIONSThese rules and regulations governing the Pacific Veterinary Conference are part of the exhibitor contract. The interpretation and enforcement of the rules and regulations by conference management is final. All matters not specifically covered by these rules and regulations are subject to the decision of conference management.

ELIGIBILITYThe Pacific Veterinary Conference reserves the right to reject any application to exhibit. Eligibility to be an exhibitor at the Pacific Veterinary Conference is limited to organizations whose products or services relate directly to the practice of veterinary medicine.

ASSIGNMENTOFEXHIBITBOOTHSPACEPriority is given to returning Pacific Veterinary Conference exhibitors based on points accumulated through the last conference. It is the Pacific Veterinary Conference’s policy to ensure that returning exhibitors receive priority booth assignment when applying to be an exhibitor. The priority point system is used to allocate exhibit space by January 27, 2016. After that, booths are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis regardless of accumulated points.

Management reserves the right to make final determination of all space assignments, including changing the floor plan or reassigning booth space if necessary, in the best interest of the Pacific Veterinary Conference. If exhibit space is sold out, companies will be placed on a waiting list based on date of receipt and payment of application. Management retains the right to refuse display space to any company whose goods and/or services are not, in the opinion of management, compatible with the general character and objectives of the Pacific Veterinary Conference and the California Veterinary Medical Association.

See Booth Payment under Exhibitor Contract information for additional details.

PRIORITYPOINTSYSTEMThe Pacific Veterinary Conference uses a point system to assign exhibit booth space up until January 27, 2016. After that, booths are assigned on a first come, first served basis regardless of points. The following is a complete breakdown of how those points are accumulated and utilized:

• Two points for exhibiting at the Pacific Veterinary Conference.

• Two points for every $5,000 in sponsorship in 2016.

• Points are added to accumulated points year after year.

• Priority is given to returning exhibitors based on points accumulated through the last conference.

• Accumulated points will not hold a booth space if payments are not made according to the schedule/calendar on page 4.

• Companies who begin tear down or have left the Vet Expo prior to 4:30 pm on Saturday will lose all priority points and will have a low booth assignment at future conferences.

• If companies have the same number of points, the company that submitted their contract and pays in full first will have priority in selecting a booth.

• No-shows do not accumulate points.

BOOTHDIMENSIONSBooths are 10’ x10’ or 10’ X 20’ in size. Backwall drapes are eight feet high and sidewall drapes are three feet high. Fire code regulations prohibit exhibits from extending into aisles. Expo hall flooring is carpeted.

BOOTHSETBACKSANDUNOBSTRUCTEDSIGHTLINESThe Vet Expo floor plan and rules and regulations are designed to allow unobstructed sight lines for all exhibitor booths. If your booth configuration obstructs sight lines (e.g. your booth height exceed eight feet), contact Della Yee at 800.655.2862beforeyourequestabooth. You may be placed on the perimeter of the Vet Expo, as some perimeter booths can accommodate backdrops of up to 12 feet. A 12-foot backdrop request must be written on the exhibitor contract and approved in advance. This does not exempt exhibitors from also maintaining a set-back of six feet in from the front and sides of booths.

STANDARDBOOTHGUIDELINES(IN-LINE) The maximum back wall height and maximum height of booth components is eight feet. Booth components are restricted to a height of three feet for the first six feet from any aisle (i.e., only four feet into the booth from the rear of the booth may exceed three feet in height). Hanging above booths is prohibited. Display booths cannot block views of other booths, either beside or behind the booths. Exhibits with backlight must be equipped with a back shield to prevent light interference with the booth behind. The aisles are the common property of all exhibitors and must not be obstructed at any time.

SUBLETTING,SHARING,ORREASSIGNMENTSubletting, sharing, or reassignment of space by an exhibitor is strictly prohibited. The exhibitor agrees not to assign, sublet, or apportion space or any part thereof contracted for, nor to exhibit, advertise, or offer for sale merchandise or services other than those manufactured or sold by the exhibiting company in the regular course of business.

PUBLICAISLESPublic aisles may not be used by exhibitors. All business must be conducted within the booth and display materials must be arranged so that attendees are not required to stand in the aisles to examine products. No exhibit or advertising matter is allowed to extend beyond the confines of the booth unless authorized by conference management. Exhibitors cannot use tables outside of their booths to conduct business.

DEFAULTOFOCCUPANCY• Default of occupancy is the responsibility of the exhibitor. • Exhibitors must be show-ready by 8:30 am on Friday, June 24, 2016.• Failure to occupy by the designated set-up time does not excuse payment in full for the contracted

booth. • The on-site contact for the company must check-in with Global Experience Specialist, Inc. (GES) or show

management no later than 7:00 am on Friday, June 24, or the exhibitor will be considered a “no show.” Space will be re-assigned at the discretion of show management. “No shows” at the conference do not get a refund and will not be allowed to exhibit at the next Pacific Veterinary Conference. “No shows” also do not accumulate priority points.

• Removing display items and/or dismantling a booth before the scheduled breakdown time for all exhibitors is a violation of this contract and will be considered the same as a “no show.”

MERCHANDISEREMOVALA written release is required to remove material from the Vet Expo after the first day of installation through the last day of dismantling. Official release forms will be available at the Decorator’s Service Desk. Materials remaining in the Vet Expo after 7:30 pm on Saturday, June 25, 2016 will be removed at the expense of the exhibitor.

BADGESAll exhibitors must wear a badge at all times. The exhibitor reserving the space is responsible for letting the Pacific Veterinary Conference know the names of their staff members by May 31, 2016. Additional exhibitor badges are available for $250, which includes all meals served in the Vet Expo. Veterinarians and veterinary technicians who are registered for the conference through an exhibitor can attend CE classes, but they must register for the conference as an attendee and pay the appropriate fees to receive a certificate of attendance and access to lecture notes.

EXHIBITOR CONTRACT INFORMATION

BOOTHPAYMENTBooths contracted and not paid in full by February 18, 2016, may become available for resale. Prior to this deadline, companies with an outstanding balance will be contacted by conference management for final payment. If full booth payment is not received by February 18, 2016, the company will forfeit their deposit and their booth will be put back in inventory for resale.

Payment must be made by check drawn on a U.S. bank or credit card (Visa, MasterCard, AMEX, or Discover only); dishonored checks or credit cards will prevent booth(s) being assigned until rectified. There is a $25 charge for returned checks.

CANCELLATIONPOLICYAll cancellation and refund requests must be received in writing on company letterhead before January 27, 2016. Fifty percent of the total booth cost is non-refundable. No refunds are given for cancellations made after February 18, 2016.

RULES/REGULATIONSANDFLOORPLANCHANGESThe exhibitor agrees that the Pacific Veterinary Conference shall have the right to make such rules and regulations or changes in the floor plan arrangement of booths for said exhibition as it shall deem necessary. All determinations by Pacific Veterinary Conference regarding the enforcement of rules, regulations, and conditions under this contract shall be final and binding.


PRE-SHOWINSPECTIONANDVIOLATIONSNOTICEA walk-through takes place by conference management beginning at 5:00 pm on Thursday, June 23, 2016. Any booths not meeting the rules and regulations set forth in this exhibitor prospectus are in violation of show standards. A violation notice, stipulating required action, will be posted in the booth. Ifanexhibitorreceivesaviolationnotice,theymustcorrecttheproblemby8:00amonFriday,June24,2016ortheirboothwillbedismantledattheexpenseoftheexhibitor. Violations include exceeding booth height and width restrictions as specified in this exhibitor prospectus. Any pop-up, pre-fabricated, or other custom-designed booth that appears unfinished from the sides or the back will be draped by GES and billed to the contracting exhibitor. No refunds are issued for booths that are dismantled due to a violation of the booth construction guidelines.

VETEXPOACCESSFORBOOTHSETUPANDBREAKDOWNExhibitor acknowledges that the show site and surrounding areas are active work zones. Exhibitor, its agents, employees, and representatives are present at their own risk. In the interest of safety, only those individuals directly responsible for set up and/or break down of booths are permitted in the exhibit area. Children under the age of 18 are not allowed in the Vet Expo during installation and dismantling of exhibits–no exceptions.

EXHIBITOR/SPONSORPOLICIESEach exhibitor/sponsor agrees to observe the Pacific Veterinary Conference’s policies on events, activities, hospitality suites and raffles as a condition of exhibiting/sponsoring. Any event or other form of planned presentation that is scheduled, other than those approved by the Pacific Veterinary Conference, is regarded as an exhibit/sponsor contract violation.

SUITCASINGSuitcasing is a business practice in which companies will gain access to an event by obtaining some type of event credential (attendee badge, expo-only badge, etc.) and then solicit business in the aisles or other public space used for the conference. This practice skirts the support of the organizer and the industry. The Pacific Veterinary Conference has a zero-tolerance policy regarding suitcasing. If there is someone who has obtained credentials for the sole purpose of suitcasing they will be asked to leave the conference immediately.

EVENTS,ACTIVITIES,ANDHOSPITALITYSUITESAll requests for any exhibitor/sponsor events, activities, and hospitality suites must first be approved by the Pacific Veterinary Conference. Competingeventsareprohibited; including seminars, sessions, or receptions conducted at one of the conference contracted properties or off property during any Pacific Veterinary Conference scheduled activity. Exhibitors/sponsors requesting a suite must notify the Pacific Veterinary Conference if it will be used for hospitality. Industry-related events, entertainment, and hospitality activities may not overlap with Pacific Veterinary Conference program events.

RAFFLESRaffles must be approved at least 30 days in advance of the conference by the management of the Pacific Veterinary Conference. Raffle drawings are permitted within a booth, but the exhibit hall and/or Pacific Veterinary Conference public address system cannot be used to promote these raffles in any way, or to announce the winners. Exhibitors must make it clear, both during and after the conference, that the raffle is theirs and not an official Pacific Veterinary Conference raffle.

ANIMALSANDMUSICAnimals in the hall require prior authorization. Exhibitors must submit a written request to conference management before space assignment.

Music in the booth space or at any function held in conjunction with this conference is subject to applicable copyright and licensing fees charged by ASCAP and/or BMI. It is the sole responsibility of the exhibitor/sponsor to pay applicable fees. For more information about licensing fees, visit www.ascap.com or www.bmi.com. Music level must not disturb adjacent booths.

FOODSERVICEThe Pacific Veterinary Conference’s agreement with the Hilton San Francisco Union Square prohibits any food or beverage from outside sources being brought into the exhibit booths unless contracted with the Hilton San Francisco Union Square’s catering department. Any exhibitor/sponsor that brings in unauthorized food and/or beverages will be asked to cease serving or risk confiscation of any such items. Additionally, such violation may result in action by the Pacific Veterinary Conference to remove the entire display and booth representative from the conference floor altogether at the violator’s expense. The exhibitor/sponsor understands and accepts these terms as contracted obligations with the Hilton San Francisco Union Square and the Pacific Veterinary Conference.

FIRECODEREGULATIONSAll exhibitors must comply with all fire code laws, rules, and regulations governing the State of California, the City of San Francisco, and the County of San Francisco.

EXHIBITORSANDCONVENTIONPROMOTIONName of confirmed and past exhibiting companies may be used by the Pacific Veterinary Conference for promotional purposes. Photos taken in the Vet Expo or at any other Pacific Veterinary Conference event by the Pacific Veterinary Conference staff or designated photographers of exhibiting companies and their employees may be used by the Pacific Veterinary Conference for promotional purposes.

SERVICESAll services customarily required by exhibitors are available at current rates: decorating, drayage, electrical, furniture rental, sign printing, carpenter services, sample storage, general labor, plumbing, photography, special cleaning and porter service, florist, and telephone service. Order forms for all services are included in the exhibitor service manual, which is emailed (and available online at https://ordering.ges.com/logon) directly to each exhibitor by the official decorating company, GES, after full payment is received by the Pacific Veterinary Conference and booths are assigned. Acceptance of exhibit space by an exhibitor constitutes agreement to use only the Pacific Veterinary Conference official suppliers. Exhibitors may not sue an independent contractor for drayage, cleaning, electrical, or plumbing.

LABORJURISDICTIONSAll work performed in the exhibit area is under union jurisdiction and under safety jurisdiction. Show management and all exhibitors are expected to comply with the unions and with fire and safety requirements in effect. In the interest of safety, continuity, security, and control, the following are understood as exclusive services if provided by GES: material handling, receipt/unloading of inbound Federal Express and UPS shipments, audio visual, rigging, electrical, plumbing, and custom cleaning. Should the facility provide some or all of the following services: electrical, plumbing, compressed air, sign hanging, cleaning of certain areas, and phones, their work rules and union jurisdictional issues would apply for these


services.

GES has a great relationship with all unions. They work very closely with them to create a positive work environment that enables them to deliver the highest quality of service. Their effective leverage of these relationships provides greater efficiencies to the exhibitors. GES anticipates that all contracts up for renewal will result in non-contentious resolutions.

EXHIBITORLABORAll work involved in the construction, touch-up painting, dismantling, and repair of all exhibits may fall under union jurisdiction. This work is to include wall coverings, floor coverings, pipe and drape, painting, hanging of signs and/or decorative materials from the ceiling, placement of all signs, and the erection of platforms used for exhibit purposes.

This does not apply to the unpacking and placement of merchandise/product.

Full-time employees of exhibiting companies may setup their own exhibits provided that one person can accomplish the task in less than ½ hour without the use of tools.

If the exhibit preparation, installation, or dismantling requires more than ½ hour, exhibitors must use personnel supplied by the official services contractor. However, please note that when union labor is required, exhibitors may provide one full-time company employee to supervise work with the union crew. Any full-time company personnel involved should be prepared to produce some type of company identification when engaged in these activities.

FREIGHTHANDLINGAll work involved in the loading and unloading of all trucks, trailers, and common and contract carries, as well as the handling of empty crates and the operation of material handling equipment is under union jurisdiction. The union also has the jurisdiction of the unloading, uncrating, unskidding, leveling, painting, and assembly of machinery and equipment, as well as the reverse process. Full-time employees of exhibiting companies may “hand carry” material provided they do not use material handling equipment. When exhibitors do choose to “hand carry” material, they may not be permitted access to the loading dock/freight door areas. GES will not be responsible for any material it does not handle.

GRATUITIESGES work rules prohibit the SOLICITATION OR ACCEPTANCE of tips in cash, product, or gifts in kind by any employee (union or non-union). GES employees are paid appropriate wages denoting professional status, therefore tipping of any kind is not allowed.

ALWAYSHONESTHOTLINEGES requires the highest standards of integrity from all employees. Please call their confidential Always Honest hotline at 866.225.8230 to report fraudulent or unethical behavior.

LOGISTICSExhibitors can call one toll free number during all North American business hours and place orders for shipping and other GES services. GES Logistics provides simplified rates and toll-free tracking.

In response to increasing concerns regarding material handling rates, GES Logistics now offers Transportation Plus. As the official fright carrier for air, ground, van line, and international shipments, GES Logistics offers exhibitors the ability to receive a lower discount off their material handling rate when they utilize GES Logistics for both their inbound and outbound shipments.

Under the requirements set forth by the Federal Highway Administration (Office of Motor Carries), GES Logistics is conducting business under License MC 399451-B and as required by 49CFR371 has registered as a Broker of Property with published Limits of liability. Any concerns should be directed to the Risk Management Department of GES.

CAREOFBUILDINGAcceptance of exhibit space makes it obligatory on the part of the exhibitor and any employee that they shall not deface, injure, or mar the Hilton San Francisco Union Square. Decorations, signs, banners, etc., may not be taped, nailed, stapled, or otherwise fastened to ceilings, walls, doors, windows, painted surfaces, or columns. Any damage done shall be the responsibility of the exhibitor and not the Pacific Veterinary Conference, the California Veterinary Medical Association, or the Hilton San Francisco Union Square.


SECURITYProfessional, uniformed security personnel will be provided on a 24-hour basis beginning 2:00 pm Thursday, June 23, 2016 until 7:30 pm Saturday, June 25, 2016.
